The Gift Within

The Gift Within is a fictional book about Skylar, a tender-hearted Carolina Wren, who is afraid to take flight and is tormented by his siblings. Encouraged by his parents, he overcomes his fear and discovers how to soar by giving away the gift deep within his heart. The book is appropriate for pre-adolescent readers, although it can be easily comprehended by gifted younger readers and read by parents/grandparents to young children. The "hidden" moral of the book is to help readers think about their own special gifts.
